Wooden Ghost Halloween Pin Badge/Brooch

Following on from last weeks Halloween bat pin badges I have the ghost type version this week, which I think have turned out a little better.

Again using the extra small Christmas domino pieces I buy especially for crafting, I covered the picture side with a plain orange paper and coloured the plain side with an orange Sharpie pen.

I then covered the small MDF ghosts (eBay) with white Ranger Enamel Accents with a sprinkling of iridescent ultra fine glitter to add extra and catch the light on a Halloween night.

The ghosts were then stuck on to the covered domino which I had edged with a little faux stitching using a black fine liner pen. When the ghosts were on I put  a few tiny silver stars in between them, again for extra spooky sparkle.

All that was left to do then was to add a tiny brooch finding on the back using an epoxy resin glue as I don’t want to risk the pin coming off when Iris and Bertie in particular wear them.  I also coloured the back of the ghost black to make the brooches look finished off and more professional (not shown).

A really simple project that I am thrilled with, so much so that they then spawned another idea that I will show you tomorrow.

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
